Dr Clark has previously described Skye as one of the world's most
important palaeontology sites. Its standing is underlined by the number
of finds from the Middle Jurassic, about 170 million years ago.
Evidence of dinosaurs and ancient large reptiles from other
periods have also been found on the island. They include more than 100
marks left by a lizard called Isochirotherium - also known as the
hand-beast - 270 million years ago.

Red Roof Café Gallery Wins Top Tourism Award
The café gallery has been extremely popular since opening in
May. Combining Nel’s fabulous baking, their beautiful local produce
lunches, the cute building, live music and Elly's award winning
art and sculpture, the judges loved it. Visitors have too and word of mouth
recommendations have been spreading throughout Skye fast with locals
and tourists traveling from all over the island to visit for themselves.
Gendale’s own
Red Roof Café Gallery clinched the top prize at the Moffatt
Travel and Tourism Awards 2011! Elly went to Edinburgh to pick up the Moffat
award for 'Best Scottish Tourism Business' with the prize for outstanding
economic and community impact. For those who don’t know Elly and Craig, they spent the last two
years doing most of the restoration work of the ruined black-house themselves
and transformed the building into a lively art and food space which boasts a
distinctive red roof and a quirky, cosy interior. Elly and Craig said ‘We were
thrilled to win this award so soon after opening and would like to thank
everyone here who helped support us.’ Red Roof Cafe GalleryHolmisdale, Glendale, Isle of Skye, IV55 8WS. Tel: 01470 511766 www.redroofskye.co.uk.
